These grants enable recipients to design and implement projects that will lead to enhanced instruction and improve education at the College. Projects most likely to be funded are those inspired at the faculty retreat and aligned with the criteria below. Faculty Retreat Grants are competitive. Applicants must have attended the faculty retreat. Applications must be approved by the primary supervisor and submitted to Academic Affairs by June 1 of the same year. Applications will be reviewed by the Office of Academic Affairs and individuals appointed by the Dean for Academic Affairs.
